  Poll Vaulting: Marriage Gets PR Boost

  For former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, supporting marriage must feel like an awfully lonely position. But according to a new Rasmussen Poll, it's anything but. In what should be an eye-opening survey that the media will go out of its way to ignore, the survey house announced a flat-out tie between Americans who back same-sex "marriage" and those who don't.

  Marriage Spring, Arab Spring, Have Much in Common

  Reassure the Poles? Send Biden!

  With Vladimir Putin's seeming success in rolling over Crimea and pushing aside the Ukrainians, President Obama is talking tough. And, though Ukraine is not a member of NATO, Poland, the Baltic States, Hungary and the Czech Republic are. They need some shoring up.

  Under Obama; Are We Austria-Hungary?

  The centenary of World War I is upon us. That Great War began in August 1914. We can expect a flood of new books and documentaries on what some then called "the war to end all wars."

  Air Force Cadets Show Us How to Fight for Our Faith

  At the U.S. Air Force Academy, jets aren't the only things taking off. So is a campus-wide rebellion against the forces of political correctness. Frustrated by the school's decision to scrub a Bible verse from one of the dorm whiteboards, cadets decided to take matters into their own hands.

  Has Hillary Hit the 'Reset' Button With Her Likeability?

  It was the most memorable moment in the debates of the 2008 nomination cycle. Before the New Hampshire Primary, Sen.

  Tweaking the 'Buckley Rule'

  From his perch at National Review, Bill Buckley measured candidates this way: who's the most conservative candidate who can win? But in today's exceedingly hostile media environment, though, the famed "Buckley Rule" needs some tweaking: who's the most conservative candidate who can win and won't embarrass us?

  Let's Examine 'Marriage' Before We Throw It Out the Window

  There seems to be a rising chorus-even among some on the right-that marriage is over and we need to give up on the civil institution of marriage. I'm reminded of the blonde starlet, Mae West. This Hollywood celebrity was asked why she didn't marry one of the handsome young men who always followed her around.

  Will Victoria Nuland be Fired?

  Last year, she went to extraordinary lengths to avoid stating the obvious fact that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel. Interestingly, there has never been a time when Jerusalem was the capital of anyone else's country or empire.
